A stable sol of cerium oxide nanoparticles forms spontaneously when cerium(iv) ammonium nitrate (CAN) is dissolved in room-temperature water at mM concentrations. Electron microscopy experiments reveal the formation of highly crystalline cerium oxide particles several nm in diameter and suggest that they are formed from amorphous particles that are similar in size. Under the low pH conditions o...

Cerium-Based Metal–Organic Framework Nanosheets In article number 2300597, Liang Zhao and co-workers construct a 3D layered Ce–metal–organic framework (MOF) by rational chloride-capped metal nodes design structure-directed morphology control. The obtained MOF can be easily exfoliated into ultrathin 2D monolayer nanosheet, exhibiting excellent performance for the selective oxidation of inert C(s...

In this work, a novel ratiometric fluorescent probe was developed for rapid, highly accurate, sensitive and selective detection of mercury(II) (Hg(2+)) based on terbium(III)/gold nanocluster conjugates (Tb(3+)/BSA-AuNCs), in which bovine serum albumin capped gold nanoclusters (BSA-AuNCs) acted as the signal indicator and terbium(III) (Tb(3+)) was used as the build-in reference. Our proposed rat...

In this paper, we report the preparation of nickel phosphate in aqueous solution and its use as inorganic pigment. Because cerium phosphate is insoluble in acidic and basic solution, the addition of cerium was tried to improve the acid and base resistance of nickel phosphate pigment. The cerium substituted nickel phosphates were prepared from phosphoric acid, nickel nitrate, and ammonium cerium...

Three lisinopril-selective electrodes were developed with different techniques and in different polymeric matrices. Precipitation based technique with bathophenanthroline-ferrous as cationic exchanger in polyvinyl chloride (PVC) was used for the fabrication of sensor I (classical electrode) and sensor II (coated wire electrode). Hydroxypropyl ß cyclodextrin-based techniques were used for the fa...

The asymmetric unit of the title compound, {[Ce(C(3)H(2)O(4))Cl(H(2)O)(3)]·0.5H(2)O}(n), contains a Ce(3+) atom coordinated by a chloride anion, three water mol-ecules and a malonate ligand, and one water mol-ecule of crystallization with a factor of occupancy of 50%. The malonate ligand is bonded to three different symmetry-related metal atoms yielding a one-dimensional coordination polymer ru...

A highly selective electrode for Bromide ion based on aza pyrilium derivative as an excellentionophore is described.The sensor exhibits a good linear response with a slope of ( 60±1 ) mV per decadeover the concentration range of ( 1×10-3 – 9×10-6 M ) , and a detection limit of ( 3×10-6 M ) of Bromideions .The electrode response is independent of pH in the range of(4.0 –9.5).Selectivity coeffici...
